Call for ACMS Delegates – 2017!

The Florida Medical Association (FMA) House of Delegates is the legislative and business body of the FMA. Its members are the officers of the FMA, the elected members of the Board of Governors, and the delegates officially elected by the component societies and the FMA Alliance. This year, the House of Delegates is meeting at Universal Studios at the Loews Sapphire Falls Resort.

The House of Delegates sets policy for the FMA by acting on recommendations from the Board of Governors and resolutions presented by component county medical societies such as the Alachua County Medical Society. Delegates elect Officers, Board members and AMA Delegates. Alachua County is entitled to have 27 Delegates representing us this year, the second largest physician representation in the state by county.

Below are a few of the resolutions voted on by the House of Delegates in 2016:
